Skyrim was small for 2 reasons. One it had to be designed so it could run on the split pool of ram on the ps3 which required some design concessions and two the game uses a ton of repeated textures and other design elements. Hopefully their next game is bigger with less repeated art work and less linear dungeons.

Chances are it wasn't a place holder. Its likely that they had planned to include every language in every version but decided against wasting so much user HDD space. I'm ready to preload from steam, got my PCI express ssd empty for this game. Let's goooooo!

No they aren't, the game runs at whatever frame rate your GPU can handld

I don't think so. Max settings the game uses like 3.2 gigs of vram at 1080p

You are correct. All told my pc was $3000 and is 4 weeks old. Granted I went x99 and ddr4 so you could probably shave $500ish off that price if you sent ddr3 but I'm running everything maxxed at 1080p and I average 60 but have dips to 45 at random makes no sense moments. Running this game proper is not cheap.

I fail to see how file size makes a difference. Back in the dial up days I used to pirate stuff all the time. It would take days to download but I didn't care.

I don't pirate anymore but I doubt speed would dissuade me if I did. I'd hop on Usenet and saturate my connection. I downloaded gta5 off steam in an hour and 7 min. Had I pirated it off Usenet it would have taken even less time.

Well let's see...unlocked on my pc this game would run at about 200fps @1080p. Witcher 2 which is very old at this point but still has better visuals runs at only 60fps with uber sampling enabled and around 120 without uber sampling.

This games issue is a horribly inefficient visual engine. Its just straight up shoddy. It was hacked together for ps3 then posted to 360 for dark souls 1 then ported to pc as cheaply as possible. Then again for this.

Yes mantle is proprietary BUT like all AMD technology they let anyone use it. NVidia could support mantle they just choose not to on the other hand nvidia refuses to license GameWorks (visual effects like in this article) or things like gsync to AMD.

nvidia is insanely greedy and instead of sharing and LICENSING new technology which let's everyone benefit and makes them money they prefer to try to lock people in with nVidia GPUs. It hsd the opposite effect on me. Due g...

My pc cost $2800 not $3000 and its now 2 weeks old and was worth every single penny. More people thave builds like mine than one assumes and since pc games actually scale any game can be made to suit high and low end as eventually low end will catch up

Bloodborne is part of a niche genre that will never have mainstream success because of its difficulty and no amount of positive press will ever change that in fact the constant barrage of "its so hard and I love it" are exactly why they don't sell huge numbers. It was an odd choice for Sony to lock down, definitely not worth the money. That said I bought my copy day 1.

The point is probably on xbox its instant. Whether you shut the system off or load another app watch a movie whatever etc...hit the game button and in a second you are in the action.

It's because ms is using a VM and Sony isn't. They are just saving a state to the HDD which needs to be loaded. Its a half ass way to do resume but at least it's there.

Ea access stops working when the game is released. Unless they bought the game there is nobody from access playing

I have a 290x and will be using it with the 390 as long as the dx12 rumors of primary and slave are true

WRONG! This is the exact opposite of spot on. Of course YOU can build YOURSELF a similar pc for less money.

You think valve works for free? Valve has to pay designers, they have to pay people to build the boxes they have to pay people to deal with all the various manufacturers, they have to pay their software engineers.

Jesus people use your brain. Any pre built pc is going to cost more. The norm is $300-600 more so valve is actually doing this on the ch...

Yea such a good game. Grabbed it on a whim for $30 from a friend who beat it 2 days after launch and was gonna trade it in. Fell in love. Even my non gaming gf loved it. They had it on xbl games for gold a couple months ago so I sold my disc and grabbed it off there

Oh wow I almost bought odd world on ps4 or pc (hadn't decided which) literally yesterday. Glad I didnt.

Topping UK sales charts doesn't mean success. drive club did the same and it wasn't a success.

Before people start writing clickbait articles maybe they should see what the worldwide sales are...if they were good Sony would have released them by now. They haven't. Anytime a game sells well the numbers for day 1 are out before the week is up.

What a load of crap this is. Sites are lowering scores to pander to hits? Reviews get let's hits than daily stories this is a joke.

If they were going to use any game as an example to hold it it shouldn't be the order. It makes them come across as butthurt fanboys. The comment about gamers bring critics and their 10 year experience is also nonsense. They have no experience beyond the very gamers being critics they attack. There is no experience required to be a ...

How can anyone hate on ea access when it pays for itself? 10% off all ea games and dlc. 5 day early access to new releases and don't give me that bs that they are holding it back by 5 days that's moronic. Free access to games in the vault.

Just the 10% off makes it a good deal for me. I got 10% off dragon age and I'll it it off dlc, I also got it off the titanfall season pass and I will use it again before the year is up easily passing the $30 I spent in savi...

Doa2 on Dreamcast was a revelation when it came out but my fav was doa3 on the xbox. They also did a pretty awesome port/update of doa1&2 on the xbox.
